⚜️ Group 2 - 011 - First Contact

You approach the nearest house, a modest two-story building with dark shutters and a well-maintained garden.

Dog steps forward and knocks. Three times. Firm but not aggressive.

Silence.

Then, from inside, the sound of movement. Footsteps. Slow. Deliberate.

The door opens a crack.

A woman's face appears in the gap.

Middle-aged, tired eyes, dark hair pulled back in a loose braid.

She looks at each of you in turn, her expression more annoyed than afraid.

"Who are you?" she asks, her voice rough with sleep.

"And why are you waking me up this early?"

She doesn't sound frightened.

She sounds... inconvenienced.

Behind her, the interior of the house is dim but normal.

You can make out furniture, a table, shelves.

No signs of struggle or corruption.

She shifts her weight, one hand on the door frame, clearly waiting for an answer.

"Well?" she says. "Speak up. It's barely past dawn."

🎯 What do you say?

Introduce yourselves honestly - Tell her you're here investigating why Thornhaven stopped trading.
Ask about the ocean - Directly question what you saw this morning.
Apologize and ask if everything is alright - Start gentle, gauge her reaction.
Show her your marks - See if she recognizes them.
Other → Your call.
